I take that notice to mean they had an outbreak of some sort, however minor (it hasn't made the network news... yet). Better to have the ship thoroughly sanitized than for you and the family to come down with norovirus or something just as bad! And no, @Lovetocruise2002, there is no way you can pack enough of those hyper-cleansing wipes I know you bring on every trip to scour the entire ship!!

Funny thing is that she did not really commit to a time. She just assured me that they were taking extra precautions and that we will still board before others. I’m the Stubborn Canadian Scorpio so I think I’m still going to show up before 12pm. I would still rather wait there than the hotel. And I like the suites area in T18. Stay tuned for the boarding adventure bellemiche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D10 always has to make a stop at the fountain in the middle of the terminal. She managed to stay dry this time And yes, that one is not our ride lol.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 So we are back at the Holiday Inn Express (on 17th Street) that I featured in my Indy blog. However, it feels like a brand new property. Tonight we have a room in their new section. It’s categorized as a suite with 2 beds + sofa bed. It can sleep 6 total. This is very comparable to the Hyatt Place down the street that we usually like when we have our kids. However, this is better since it is newer. The room is spacious with lots of storage. It is still a basic Holiday Inn without many frills but for one night pre-cruise, it works out just fine for us.
